A huge thanks to everyone who participated in the challenge last week, we so enjoyed seeing your shiny creations! The winner of the fantastic Botanical Blooms Stampin' Up set kindly donated by Jenny is Franka K. Please email Deb for details.

I received this email from Vikki, after reading this you might like to send your Happy Mail to one of the children at Post pals!

Hello, I read that you do card challenges and I wondered if you would consider doing a challenge with a twist.

I run Post Pals, we feature seriously ill children (most have cancer or are going through transplants) and their siblings on our website www.postpals.co.uk and invite members of the public to log on from around the world and send a card to a child. The aim is to make the child smile, but we have found it also helps their self esteem and parents often open them with a child during a procedure to distract them.

At the moment we are helping 120 children but they aren't getting much post.

I was wondering if you would do a challenge, instead of people just scanning in their card for the theme but they actually make one for a Post Pal child and send it off.

I can't begin to tell you how much receiving a card means when your ill and isolated.

Debbie from The Crafty Pad has kindly donated two fabulous stamp sets! 'Belinda in reflection' and 'Flowers and swirl borders'.

If you would like to be in with a chance of winning these fabulous stamps leave a direct link to your card post by next wednesday before 8pm. If you don't have a blog or gallery then you can email your pic to Deb to be included in the random draw next week.

********************************

Debbie is one of our Guest Designers this week, here is her beautiful card she created with the sweet Belinda in reflection stamp.

I would also like to introduce you to our new Guest Designer who will be with us for the next 2 weeks. She is the super talented Dawn, here is her stunning card!

We are so happy to have Annie back this week!
